From Guide – Armies of Exigo is a fantasy RTS game released by Electronic Arts that follows the standard RTS game play. Collect resources, build buildings and armies, etc... Armies if Exigo however adds a new element to the genre. It allows you to go under ground and launch assaults, collect resources creating the a new map and making this the first real time strategy title where game-play occurs on two separate maps simultaneously. This new element of the underground makes the games much more involved and interesting and an element that is sure to be duplicated in future RTS titles.
